Ashore. Fit the puzzle in between concerts (Sheryl Crow last night, Dawes tonight, My Morning Jacket tomorrow!) Here’s to a great summer weekend in the NC mts, and a good puzzle.

[Trey]

The three amigos - Marion, Jill, and Trey - are on the sand. Solved on Thursday........just slow to post! Luck to all!

Anyone else remember the Popeye movie from 1980? Earworm of "food, food, food, everything is food" centered around this guy.



Stuck in my head all the way to shore.

[Commodore]

Ashore.

[BarbaraK]

Ashore. Which, as others have mentioned, is not the meta answer. Not sure which would be more amusing - finding that it was actually a meta answer, or seeing all the various ways people here avoided using that word when reporting their success.

That's Paul Dooley, a truly marvelous character actor who played Wimpy, the hamburger-eating cheapskate of the comic strip. I had the pleasure of having dinner with him years ago at a theater festival. I still fondly remember some of the stories he told. He played the dad in the movie "Breaking Away", one of my favorite films of all time.

Ashore! Good fun!

Ran the Bix 7 this morning, got some time to work on the puzzle this afternoon. It was nice, no banging my head against the wall for days.

Love the Bix. Sort of like solving a meta - very challenging at first but all downhill at the end!

On shore! Last week broke our longest-ever streak (10) in 6 years of metas.

When our rabbit hole went nowhere last night despite seeming to fit with 58A, we were feeling pretty defeated.

Luckily the foggy sunrise enlightened us! Happily joining the crowd and excited about our new streak of one!

[Dennis]

Ashore with one little nagging question. Oh well, probably overthinking.

Good Sunday morning muggles.

A continuous level of arriving on the shore has us with 258 in the shore crowd. A way from our maximum of 290 from July 1, 2022 but quite respectable and tied for 8th place

Was cruising with family while trying to solve. Didn’t get it until we disembarked and were driving home.
Finally found myself on shore literally and figuratively.

"Breaking Away" is definitely one of the great Indiana themed movies (with Hoosiers, Rudy, Madison, Knute Rockne: All American, A Christmas Story, and Friendly Persuasion).

I’ve lived in Ohio 50 years but I only consider myself a Hoosier! Born there, schooled there and forever in my heart!

[FloridaMan81]

Happy to report I’m back on the beach this week after missing last week’s very tough but fair meta.

[Colin]

Full of things to eat,
My boat took me to the shore.
Drink, cozzie, and feast!

Haha. I had to look up "cozzie" to make sure this post was suit-able for mixed company.

Late start, quick swim. Ashore with the crowd.

[JRS51]

Ashore!

Ashore! Co-solved with my daughter.
